Others used social media to express their disappointment and offer support for transgender youth at this vulnerable time. That included Jackie Evancho, the 16-year-old former America's Got Talent contestant who sang the national anthem at Donald Trump's inauguration last month. For her, this decision is personal.

"I am obviously disappointed in the @POTUS decision to send the #transgender bathroom issue to the states to decide," Evancho tweeted, adding the hashtag #sisterlove in reference to her own older sister Juliet, who came out as transgender in 2015.

"I actually cried because what worried me was that she was going to get teased," Jackie told People of her sister's transition. "She told me she was transgender, and I was actually very happy for her because she finally found herself, and she can be who she wants to be."

Jackie, who previously performed for President Obama, explained to The New York Times last month of her decision to perform at Trump's inauguration, "I just kind of thought that this is for my country. So if people are going to hate on me it's for the wrong reason."

However, as this week's news has proven, the young singer is also willing to use her voice to challenge the president. Whether he will respond to her request is another story.
